Packera tomentosa
Packera dubia (synonym Packera tomentosa), often known by the name woolly ragwort, is a perennial species of flowering plant in the Asteraceae family. It is native to the southeastern United States, primarily to the coastal plain but extending into some areas inland and is common throughout its range, where it typically inhabits open, sandy areas and granitic outcrops. This species produces a head of yellow flowers in late spring. Its seeds have been shown to vary in mass within a single flower head as an adaptation to improve dispersal in disturbed habitats.
Packera dubia is distributed throughout the middle and southeast of the United States. According to Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center, this species can be found in the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, North Carolina, New Jersey, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia. Packera dubia is more prominent in coastal areas than in inland regions. In Maryland, for instance, Packera dubia is much more prominent in the eastern region closer to the coast.
